Survival

Survival mode is the horde mode in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. The objective is to survive the endless wave of enemies. People would relate this to the zombies mode featured in Black Ops, but it's much more tactical. You must survive against intelligent, armed forces. You will face regular infantry, attack dogs, helicopters, Juggernauts, and even suicide bombers!

Some items in the Armories and the later maps won't unlock until you level up. The Maps get harder down the line. The Levels are different in Spec Ops compared to Multiplayer, so check out the Spec Ops Ranks and Unlocks page for the different Ranks and Unlocks.

After completing each wave, you will have 30 seconds to ready up. You can pick up the enemy's weapons to save on cash.
